December 2008 What's Up video is now available, weekend star parties planned

Hi everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful moon and planet conjunction over the past few nights! We were lucky to have clear skies on Sunday and Monday nights! My December's What's Up Podcast is available in several standard and high definition formats on the JPL HD Video page now. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/video/index.cfm Also on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=JPLnews&p=r&page=1 Next Sidewalk Astronomy event reminder: Friday night Dec 5th instead of telescopes on Colorado Blvd in Pasadena, I'll be at Farnsworth Park in Altadena from 6-8 p.m. The address is 568 East Mount Curve Avenue, Altadena, CA 91001 626-798-6335. I'm doing a short JPL talk, followed by stargazing at the park's outdoor theatre. John Sepikas from PCC will be joining me with telescopes. Saturday night Dec 6th our whole Sidewalk Astronomers gang will be in Monrovia, Myrtle and Lime Streets for our monthly first quarter moon star party. 5:30 -8:30 p.m. (maybe a little later) Hope to see you at one or the other of these events, Jane Jane Houston Jones Senior Outreach Specialist, Cassini Program JPL - 4800 Oak Grove Drive, MS 230-205 Pasadena, CA 91109 818-393-6435 jane.h.jones(a)jpl.nasa.gov Cassini SOC http://soc.jpl.nasa.gov/index.cfm What's Up? http://education.jpl.nasa.gov/amateurastronomy/index.html
